The Guardian believes new financial restrictions caused by the ongoing coronavirus crisis have seen the Red Devils re-evaluate their summer spending plans. Subsequently, United have apparently accepted that players of Kane’s stature are out of reach.

That’s certainly good news for Spurs, although similar financial restrictions could also affect Jose Mourinho’s summer spending plans. Only time will tell to what extent.
